    My friend Leslie was watching C4 (one of NZ's music channels) with me, when The Darkness came on. She'd never seen them.

    After the video ended, she said I'm strangely attracted to that lead singer.

    I just worked out that I'm strangely attracted to Johnny Rotten (just watched a retro show, and they had a video of Rise, and there's something about his ginga hair.

    So, whose yours?


By wisper on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 06:38 pm:

    Brad Dourif, was the evil doctor in Alien 4. Or to you nerds out there, Wormtongue in LOTR. Oh, how my housemates still mock me for when he came on the screen and i went "Who IS that?? He's hooOOoot!" (said very high-pitched and girly). Whenever we pass a LOTR toy in a store, one of them will point him out and mock "hoooOOOooot!"


    Gary Oldman, but is that really so strange? I don't know.




    (and because the debate was on last night,Jack Layton *tee hee hee!*)

By patrick on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 07:05 pm:

    wow. carla is much more cute than i remembered her to be when i saw the Fibbers ages ago.


By semillama on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 07:49 pm:

    Lesley Rankine

    I crushed out on her without ever seeing what she looked like, just from hearing her sing on that Pigface album...


By kazu on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 07:52 pm:

    why is that a strange attraction?


By kazu on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 07:55 pm:

    I guess without having seen her...



    ...my strange attraction is Hugh Hefner. Don't ask, I do not understand it either. Also Hugo Weaving, but only as Elrond, lord of Rivendell


By dave. on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 08:23 pm:

    ooh! shirley manson, too.


By Rowlfe on Wednesday, June 16, 2004 - 08:26 pm:

    Young Linda Ronstadt

    its that lip curling thing she does.


By Dougie on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 10:01 am:


By kazu on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 10:08 am:

    Shirley Manson? Leslie Rankine? carla bozulich?


    Why/How are these STRANGE attractions?


By semillama on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 10:35 am:

    How is Hugh Hefner a strange attraction?


By kazu on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 11:02 am:

    How is Hugh Hefner NOT a strange attraction?


By Antigone on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 02:21 pm:

    I don't consider any attraction strange. It just is.


By kazu on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 03:34 pm:

    yeah, but my attraction to Hefner *feels* strangely different than my attraction to Jude Law.


By moonit on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 03:40 pm:

    I would define strange, by someone who doesn't have a look you would go for. I think Hugh Hefner is really strange. Thanks for not making feel so alone Kazu :) hehe


By kazu on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 03:49 pm:

    Or cartoon characters, like the strange crush on Trent from Daria who is oh so dreamy that I share with wisper.

    That is his name, right?


By semillama on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 05:43 pm:

    oh, ok that strange. I had a brief crush on Jane Lane from Daria when it first came out.


By wisper on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 09:48 pm:

    yes, TRENT!

    (He's not strange for me, he just happens to be a cartoon. He's just my type. If i was a cartoon teenager.)


By agatha on Thursday, June 17, 2004 - 10:37 pm:

    I have a crush on the imaginary gay homocide cop in the books I've been reading lately to escape from my schoolwork.

    I call them "book candy."

    Not strange, but I also have a crush on the superfine black detective on CSI. Yum.


By wisper on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 12:47 am:

    actually, who am i kidding, Trent is so out of my league. I'd probably just have to be friends with him while dating Beavis.
    Beavis isn't too bad, though.
    -------------

    Did Beavis and Butthead ever show up on Daria? Or was the plot supposed to be that she moved away from Highland High for 10th grade?
    Some form of cross-over would have been nice.
    Because in King of the Hill they put that one kid in Bobby's class that *IS* Butthead, but more realistic.


By Dougie on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 12:47 am:

    Oh yeah, I love that gap-toothed chick on CSI. That's not strange either, but agatha mentioned CSI.


By moonit on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 02:35 am:

    Aggie, are you talking about Milo?

    I loved Beavis. I also love Warrick from CSI. But thats not strange.

    I also think Robert Crais character Pike would be fucking hot in real life.


By dave. on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 03:09 am:

    portia di rossi from ally mcbeal and arrested development is another goofy looking hottie i'm attracted to.

    and neela on e.r. samantha, too.

    and the freakishly lean long distance runner starbucks barista near my office. i swear, like 3% fat. i watch with fascination every muscle in her arms tense and relax as she accepts my $2.48 for a venti™, extra ice, light room, iced americano. i'm outwardly passive and non chalant; inwardly delighted and infatuated.


By Gee on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 10:17 am:

    since when is Portia di Rossi goofy looking?

    I don't think you people get the game. this isn't "who are you attracted to?", it's "who are you attracted to that you're afraid to tell anyone about because they'd laugh your ass out onto the street?"

    my pick: Steve Buscemi.

    also, Willem Dafoe, but only in "Boondock Saints". mmmm, sexy-ugly.


By dave. on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 11:44 am:

    so, like if i was attracted to barbara bush? which i'm not.

    and i think portia di rossi is beautiful, but she can look pretty inbred sometimes.

    the other 2 from e.r. . . . well, i got carried away a little.


By Rowlfe on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 12:03 pm:

    I think Portia de Rossi is weird looking too. I dont know why. She just is.


By Gee on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 02:02 pm:

    see, that's like a strange repulsion. people you should be in love with, but aren't. like with me and Vin Diesel.

    that's right: I'd rather sleep with Steve Buscemi than Vin Diesel, and I'm only moderately embaressed about it!


By kazu on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 02:34 pm:

    steve buscemi is one of my crushes too, but it doesn't feel strange to me, because he's so cool.

    my bestfriend dated a guy who looks like steve buscemi.


By kazu on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 02:42 pm:

    "so, like if i was attracted to barbara bush?"

    which one? though, either would be strange, especially for you dave.

    willem dafoe is a very attractive man, but like Busemi, because he's willem dafoe. ugly sexy is still sexy, usually more so than chiseled perfect features so I don't think that's strange.


    then there is ugly that is the complete antithesis of sexy, like James Carville. Could you imagine waking up to him after a night of partying? even looking all roughed up on the cover of his book he just looks like a roughed up in-bred extra terrestrial.


By Spider on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 04:12 pm:

    Oh, man, I so want to participate in this thread but my mom's hanging over my shoulder. I'll wait till Monday.


By Antigone on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 04:25 pm:

    Hi, mom!

    And, just to stay on topic: Spider's mom has got it goin' on!


By patrick on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 04:31 pm:

    Dear spider's mom,


    Can spider come out to play?


By kazu on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 04:48 pm:

    spider, where is your mum? is she still in boston?


By kazu on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 04:54 pm:

    yes, i just saw on the family history thread that you are in boston. i am in lowell. i just e-mailed you. if you want to try to meet up for coffee/dinner or something, let me know.


By Platypus on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 04:57 pm:

    (By the way I totally dig the nerdy guy on CSI: Las Vegas. Just to keep in theme.)

    I wanna meet up for coffee or dinner or something. *pouts*


By Antigone on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 05:56 pm:

    Yeah, so do I.


By moonit on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 06:30 pm:

    Greg? Or the guy who was in Veronica's closet? Or the assistant mortician guy? There's too many!

    Gee, keep your hands off my Vin Diesel.


By wisper on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 06:56 pm:

    dude, I'd bang Steve Buscemi like 20 times before I'd ever touch Vin Diesel.
    Built guys are nasty. Besides, Steve's got a cute little brain.


By agatha on Friday, June 18, 2004 - 11:06 pm:

    Steve Buscemi's got the crazy eyeteeth goin'on.

    On an unrelated note, I have a huge important assignment that is due postmarked TODAY, and am I done? NO. Am I working on it? NO, I am POSTING on SORABJI and reading BULLSHIT that makes me ANGRY on the THREAD of EVIL.

    So, what exactly is wrong with me, do you suppose?


By kazu on Saturday, June 19, 2004 - 01:42 am:

    i've had that would-rather-be-doing-something-annoying-than-something-productive syndrome my whole life


By agatha on Saturday, June 19, 2004 - 02:25 am:

    Why, Kazu, why?

    Still "working"...


By Gee on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 10:49 am:

    Moonit, you can keep Vin Diesel. ick. the man is dumb. D-U-M, dum!

    but I loves me some Greg-O! There isn't anyone on CSI that I wouldn't sleep with, except that big guy with the cane. not because he's big or he has a cane. he's just an ass.


    wisper, did you get my email? I might have sent it to the wrong place.


By Spider on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 07:11 pm:

    Oh, yes. Gary Dourdan. Mmm mmm mmm.


    Shoot, now that I'm home, I can't think of any of my strange attractions.

    Does Michael Palin count?


By Spider on Monday, June 21, 2004 - 08:27 pm:

    All right, I offer up Damian Lewis, seeing as I just finished watching him in "Band of Brothers." As you can see, not really a conventionally handsome man. He's got a funny mouth, eyes kinda small, ginger hair (which actually is a plus in my book, but it's not normally considered an asset). But damn if he isn't smokin' hot. I mean, damn. Even as scary Soames Forsyte. Maybe even *especially* as scary Soames Forsyte, but I'm weird like that.

    (So, he plays Richard Winters in "Band of Brothers," right? Funnily enough, in that rarity for Hollywood, the real Richard Winters was better looking than the actor playing him. Plus, he was and is an amazing, amazing man. So any attraction to him clearly falls outside of the "strange" category.)



    Oh, yeah, and Bill Clinton. Did you see him on "60 Minutes" last night? Love him.


    See, Damian Lewis, Bill Clinton, Steve Buscemi, Willem Dafoe...all weird-looking guys who secrete charisma through their pores.

By kazu on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 09:11 am:

    holy crap.


    that was hilarious.


    keep the gayface coming.


By dave. on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 02:51 pm:


By Sye on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 03:30 pm:

    YOu know, that's would be funny, if I could actually see it, and it didn't start and stop 50 million times!

    I have one, searching for the link. We'll be right back after a word from our sponsors...



By Gee on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 06:22 pm:

    you are the strangest guy, dave.


By wisper on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 06:32 pm:

    I loves me the jesus.


By dave. on Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - 11:53 pm:


By dave. on Wednesday, June 23, 2004 - 12:18 am:


By Spider on Friday, June 25, 2004 - 08:21 pm:

    I read this in an interview with Vin Diesel, and it made me like him:

    Is it true you're really into Dungeons and Dragons?

    No. I never play D&D. For some reason, they thought that I played D&D for 20 years. They thought that I spent years playing Barbarians, Witch Hunters, Unearthed Arcana. They thought I still played D&D back in the '70s when it's just the basic D&D set. They thought I continued to play D&D when it became Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. They thought I played D&D when there was only three books - the Player's Handbook, the Monster Manual and the DM's Guide. They thought I played D&D as it continued onto the Unearthed Arcana, Oriental Adventures, Sea Adventures, Wilderness Adventures. They thought I played D&D at the time when Deities and Demigods was the brand new book. They thought I played D&D when I used to get up to a place called The Complete Strategist in New York. (Vin mouths: "I'm into D&D a lot.")..... I mean, I was literally playing Dungeons and Dragons with Judi Dench and Karl Urban at nights after shooting. I will tell you that I was showing her Dungeons and Dragons books and showing her the different properties of elementals. Call me crazy.
    See, I dig that he can look like a badass on the outside and be a raging dork on the inside. That is makes him okay in my book. Plus, playing D&D with Judi Dench? Truth is indeed stranger than fiction, my friends.


    On a more disturbing note: You might want to scrub out your brain after seeing this.

    I'll part by saying: Leonard Cohen? All right.


By dave. on Friday, June 25, 2004 - 11:37 pm:

    james wood?


By moonit on Saturday, June 26, 2004 - 12:52 am:

    I wonder if I can meet Karl Urban and have him intro me to Vin?? hmmm.


By wisper on Saturday, June 26, 2004 - 01:59 am:

    Bob Newhart???


By Spider on Saturday, June 26, 2004 - 10:16 am:

    Ed Begley, Jr.????

    See, I told you, there are just some things you shouldn't know.

    But now you do. MWAHAHAHAHAHA.
